Inspire confidence…and encourage kids to accomplish something great on their own!

Mud Factor is a “seriously fun” 5K obstacle run. It is not a race but instead an opportunity to accomplish something for yourself (or compete among friends!). The obstacle course is made up of challenges such as rope climbs, steep inclines, and of course…mud pits! Everyone that completes the obstacle course will receive a medal just for finishing.

Mud Factor had so many inquires about children participating in their mud runs, that they are now introducing Mud Factor KIDZ at their next event, which is here in Sacramento on October 26!

It is an opportunity for children ages 4-13 to conquer a shortened version of the adult course. This will allow for family participation in this fun day filled with music, food, mud and obstacles. MF Kidz will experience the same Seriously Fun Obstacles Run (some of the largest obstacles will be scaled down in size) only in a shortened version, fast forwarding to the good parts! The course will be approximately 1 mile for the 4 – 8 year olds and 1.5 to 2 miles for the 9 – 13 year olds.

Along with the same big smiles, MF Kidz will be shown the same respect – tattoo, bandana before the run, and the same achievement medal when they cross the finish line. How cool is that?!

MF Kidz will run the first wave of the day at 9:00am, so they will get to hit the obstacles before the adults muddy them up. The bigger kids (ages 9 – 13) will start at the front of the wave. A few minutes later, the littler ones (ages 4 – 8) will be unleashed! Parents will be encouraged to follow them alongside the course.

Sounds like SERIOUS FUN to me!

When: Saturday, October 26; 9:00am (arrive at 8:00am)
Where: Sacramento Raceway, 5305 Excelsior Road, Sacramento
Cost: $20.00; Spectators are free – Mud Factor would love to see Grandma, Grandpa, Aunts, Uncles and Friends. Bring the camera!
